Harnessing fear
I'm not referring to the so-called war on terror waged by the US.
My point here is something I taught many of my ex-students how to consistently do. I'm talking about kids fresh out of high school and whose sole life objective was to get into college. They were all terrified of not making it, like I once was.
I used my own story as an example, to show them I was once also paralyzed by fear. The prospect of failing almost kept me from doing what I knew I had to. The story comes in to show that I'm no boy genius wonder, and that I made it regardless.
Now I'm fighting different battles, but I still get a kick out of using my own fear as leverage. Fear is like a huge Internet banner making an annoying sound over some page I can't wait to read.
I will read that page.
